Ready to unleash the power of Mac OS X, but you are still missing your manual? Revised, updated and expanded the Mac OS X Bible Panther edition is the definitive, expanded and enhanced, comprehensive resource for the Mac user. The new edition covers all the latest features of Mac OS 10.3, including the new user-centric Finder, ExposA(c), Fast User Switching, FileVault, FontBook, and faxing. It includes a brand-new and greatly enhanced UNIX and security section, working with iApplications, .mac and much, much more With over 1000 detailed pages of information there can be only one book worthy of being called the Bible.
I picked up this book the other day just to have as a Panther reference and ended up being hooked for a few hours on the living room couch browsing through most of Part IV on "Making the Most of Mac OS X." The best word I can think of to describe the coverage is "illuminating"! Sam Litt and co. obviously have a bead on how Mac users really think and work, and they haven't missed much here. If only all Mac books were this thorough and well written!
Awesome!

This is by far the best book yet on ANY version of OS X, and lives up to the Bible name. Its combination of reader-friendliness and comprehensiveness in unparalleled as far as I can tell. The writing is straightforward, complete, and extremely well organized, with Unix coverage that seems to be useful rather than "geeky" (which makes me actually want to get into that stuff). I've only had this for a couple of days and it's already saved me time and hassle with setting up my home network. Wow! Nice job, guys!
